Before the World went completely health and safety bonkers there was a gentler time when people were reminded rather than told what to do. Unfortunately when people are given gentle reminders they tend just to ignore them which is why we have our rampant health and safety culture now. So by way of our own gentle reminder we cast our eyes back to the 1950s/1960s and some British and American safety posters from a slightly less safe but also slightly less pushy era.

We advise our viewers wear a hard hat, hi-viz vest, safety shoes and eye protection when viewing these posters to ensure they are read in the safest possible manner. Please note we accept no responsibility for any injuries incurred as a result of reading this post.
